Overview

Custom Hilltop Retreat with Panoramic Views Above Lake San Marcos Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and nestled on 1.79 private acres, this custom-built 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom estate offers breathtaking views, timeless design, and exceptional living—just minutes from the vibrant Lake San Marcos private lake community. From the expansive wraparound front porch, step through a massive sculpted wooden door into a home that immediately impresses with its soaring beam ceilings. With nearly 2,800 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, a three-car front-facing garage, and professionally landscaped drought-tolerant gardens with mature citrus trees, this hilltop sanctuary is a harmonious blend of comfort, elegance, and functionality. Inside, the welcoming foyer leads to a spacious living area featuring one of the home's three fireplaces and a formal dining room adorned with a distinctive chandelier. A expansive double sliding glass door opens to a full-length rear veranda—an ideal spot to enjoy sweeping sunsets and, on holidays, panoramic fireworks displays.The home’s intelligent two-wing layout ensures privacy and convenience. The East wing features a serene primary suite with a fireplace, another slider to the veranda and opposite a sunlit office with built-in cabinetry and a desk, perfect for working from home. There is an enormous bright walk-in closet with custom shelving. The spa-inspired en suite bathroom showcases a jetted soaking tub, dual copper sinks, elegant tile finishes and leads directly to the veranda. Nearby, a second bedroom offers private access to the front porch through Japanese-inspired shoji screens, and a beautiful azure tiled bathroom completes this wing. The heart of the home features two distinct living areas—each with its own fireplace—provide warm, versatile spaces for entertaining or relaxing. A striking wall of custom built-in shelving with accent lighting adds both function and flair. The spacious kitchen features granite countertops, a built in desk area, wet bar, double ovens, center island gas cooktop, abundant prep and storage space, and another door with direct access to the veranda. In the west wing, there is a large utility room with custom cabinetry and a deep sink along with a third bedroom which includes an entire wall of custom built-ins, served by a third pearl colored bathroom with quality finishes. Two staircases from the rear veranda lead to the lower level of the property, where a charming outdoor gazebo invites you to relax or host guests while enjoying the spectacular scenery. An irrigation system supports the low-maintenance landscaping, making yard care simple and efficient. Other notable features include three skylights that fill the home with natural light, 4 port hole windows, a distinctive blue clay tile roof, and multiple cozy seating areas on the front porch and back veranda to enjoy the tranquil surroundings and coastal breezes. This exceptional property is more than a home—it’s a private retreat offering unparalleled views, enduring craftsmanship, and peaceful hillside living above Lake San Marcos.
